I meet people with strong intent. They want to thrive but have come up against repeating patterns of resistance. I see couples and individuals. Everybody striving to meet the challenges of these difficult times. Many of my clients are neurodiverse or in neuro differing relationships. Most people carry some level of trauma from the past. My job is to help folk self-reflect, and in relationship: co-regulate. I believe we must relearn tools to find belonging (in all spheres); that this is essential in order for us all to secure a thriving future.
I teach certain essential skills. How to regulate the nervous system; how to communicate effectively; how to strive for clarity of intent. I use mindfulness and positive psych skills to reveal to clients their choices of perspective and ultimately, to turn up for facts and heal wounds that may have been hindering aspirations to now.
Please feel free to call for a 15 minutes outline of your needs and my approaches to such. I am available 3 working days of the week and will pick up the phone if at all possible. The tools I teach will be invaluable across all personal aspirations and relationship dynamics. I have clients to reach out to say as much, even after many years.

Relationship doubts, anxiety, long held patterns of behaviours, substance use, grief, aspiration for relief from effects of childhood traumas... nothing goes unnoticed by mindful contemplations, and all things move, change, transform when we attend in this way. My consultancy will take a case formation (your story) but the focus is tools to cope, then ultimately, the aspiration to thrive.

I am personally and professionally committed to the effectiveness of mindfulness. This is a skill - one that means you have agency over your emotional regulation. It's a tool I feel everyone should have and a beginning place for the insights into what it is your life holds. I will teach you that tool (amongst others) and guide your therapy, to a place of change and thriving.
